I finally went to Portobello Market yesterday. It was much larger than some of the other markets I have visited here in London, and it was pretty cool. As usual, I got annoyed by people pushing and shoving, and coming to a complete stop right in front of me for no good reason, but other than that, it was a fantastic day. The weather was perfect… maybe just 2 degrees too hot, but sunny and breezy and beautiful. The sun definitely recharged me.

I was hoping to find an antique ring or earrings, but I didn’t see anything I just had to have. They had some cute clothes, but nothing has the price posted, and there are always hordes of people looking at the good stuff, and again I didn’t see anything I just had to have, so I mostly just people watched and wandered.

I also took a yoga class here this week, which was… interesting. My heart belongs to PeiWei, my Phoenix yoga instructor, and the best in the world, so anything other than his class is just no good. The class was 90 minutes long and we did about 10 poses. It was supposed to put you into deep relaxation, but it basically just annoyed me, because you have to use chairs and bolsters and there is a lot of chasing around just to get into the position. My friend Murielle liked it a lot though… French people… So I am going to try a different one this week. There is a community center about 5 blocks from my flat and they have everything from massage to turkish baths to yoga and football. I’ll keep you all posted!
